Joseph Madison Dean, a most
highly esteemed citizens f the
Iron Hill section, was called to
his reward Thursday afternoon,
Sept., 25th., 1913, at 5 o'clock.
He had been in feeble health
'"'from the diseases incident to old

never fully recovered from the
shock he received when his life
companion was taken the 27th.,
of last November. Since that
time he has made his home with
his only daughter, Mrs. Ida
Morse, and has received from
her and her family every care
and attention which willing
hands and loving hearts could
bestow. He has been bedfast
much of the time and a great
sufferer but has patiently and
uncomplainingly awaited the
summons from his maker to
come up higher.
He was born near Bethlehem,
in Caldwell county, October 22th
1827, and was therefore in his
86th., year, and was the oldest
son of Alexander Maxwell Dean,
His mother was Miss Anna Yates
His grandmother was Miss Rachel
Rebecca Putnam, a lineal descendant
of General Isreal Putnam
of Revolutionary fame
He was married Nov., 1st.,
1854, to Miss Caroline Isabel

this countv. The union was
blessed with ten children, seven

moving his membership from
Pisgot church, Lexington, Ky.,
where he united with the church
in early life when he resided at
Versailes, Woodford, county
Ky., with an uncle,
His stay there however was
short for in 1849 he crossed the
plains in a prairie schooner en-route
to the gold fields of California,
being six months en-route
by ox-team. He did not
remain long in the west but returned
on a steamer to Panama
and thence to New York and
then back to his old Kentucky
home, and this county had been
his home for near three-fourths
of a century and the Dean homestead
near Iron Hill his residence
for over fifty years.

Frank Cliff And Son, of Fredonia,
Try to Pull Off a Military
Wedding in Tennessee.
No little excitement was created
in Princeton, Ky,, Saturday
forenoon when Frank Clilf and
his son, Lunnie Cliff, two prominent
men of Fredonia, Ky.,
came to Princeton in an automobile,
went to the hone of Wa.vno
Hamilton, one of the most prominent
young men of the city,
entered the house and gave him
a beating, and then iorcibly
dragged him from his home and
made him get into the machine.
They then proceeded to Clarksville,
Tenn., where they were
met i' ouughter of Mr.
Cliff, Miss Le' t Cliff. An at-
tempt was the.i nude to foice
Hamilton to marry the girl, i
whom th Either and brother
alleged he t'errajed. However
the Princeton uuen ritiea, having
been nc tified by Hamiltun's family
oi liio kidnapping and the
intention of his captors to force
him into marriage had
ed and the Clarksville
ties refused to issue the license.
Finding themselves blocked
here the Cliffs, with Hamilton
still in their possession, caught ,
the Louisville & Nashville tram
to Erin, Tenn., but Cliff and his
son were arrested on their arrival,
and forced to release young
Hamilton. Hamilton immediately
took tne train for Princeton
ancTa short time later Miss Cliff
went to her home at Fredonia.
Chfl and his father were released
after their captive had left Erin
and they started for Fredonia,
stopping off at Hopkinsville.
Yesterday afternoon sheriff Henry
Towery, of Caldwell county
accompanied by two deputies,
went to Clarksville to arrest
the two Cliffs but arrived there
to find they were in Hopkinsville.
Sheriff Towery immediately
took the train back to Hopkinsville
and there found the two
men, whom he took in charge
and brought back to Princeton.
Arriving at Princeton they were
placed under a $500 bond each
and will be tried on the technical
charge of forcibly detaining
a man against his will, and assault
and battery.
The people involved are members
of the most prominent families
of the county and the trouble
caused a furore among the
citizens of both towns. It is
expected that trouble will res .'It
vet from the attempted forcing
of Hamilton to wed the girl, in
spite of the fact the relatives of
the youmr woman allege he
committed the grave offense
charged by them against him.

to the tobacco troubles,
'that h condemned th. would be

and stir up strife, and advise the
working people and farmers in
reference to organization that
they were in tor personal gain.
He said these leaders would not
know which end of the tobacco
plant to stick in the ground.
He told them that it was personal
gain they were for, and to
beware of them. Judge Gordon
stated the day would come when
such disgraceful things would
become a stench to thinking
people.
People have the idea that
these things never occurred before
in history, but back in 1679
people raised so much tobacco in
Virginia that it was not profitable.
They got together and
the House of Burgesses
asking that a law be passed prohibiting
the iaising so much of
the weed. Not getting the law

the rescue and such deeds were
made treason and punishable

all property. Speaking further,
Jndge Gordon said a man should
think before joining any organization
with lawless intent, and
when one joined such conspiracy
loses his identity, freedom and
self-control.
